What's the dope on Bio-Resonance and the Magic StirWand?

Supposedly this gizmo converts drinking water into a more “hydrating, more oxygenating water.”.

Welcome to the SDMB, The_3_Little_Pigs. I’ve moved your question from ATMB to General Questions. You should be able to get a better answer in this forum.

Here’s the straight dope:

The claim is bullshit. Utter bullshit.

Presumably http://www.magicwaterwand.com/

14 inches, bioceramic with a bullshit core.

But if you wear a Q-Ray bracelet while you use it, the bullshit fields in each will cancel each other out and you will be left with a perfectly safe, if ordinary stir stick.

The research came from Fenestra Research

I found this tidbit from their home page interesting:

They offer clinical trials to those who aren’t really sure what a clinical trial is. I’m sold!

Fenestra Research? As in deciding whether or not to defenestrate the product?

In this case the question might be whether to redefenestrate. And use a window on a higher floor.

I suppose in some sense it’s true that if you stir your water enough you could dissolve more oxygen into it, though that doesn’t make it more ‘hydrating’, whatever that is supposed to mean. Water is as watery as it gets.

Without even looking at the body of your post, or doing any research on the subject, I’d be prepared to bet a large chunk of cash this its COMPLETE BS PSEUDO SCIENCE!

Terms such as “resonance” and “oxygenating” are always tacked onto such blatant cons to give them a veneer of science (this claim only neeed addition magnets for the full pseudo-science bullshit bingo full house :slight_smile: ) Its so widespread that if an actual real scientist were to invent some incredible device that did really did use resonance, oxygen, and magnets, they’d be forced to come up with some ephamism avoid using these terms to describe his invention, or no one would believe them :slight_smile:

I’ve got a device in my house that makes things more watery. It’s installed just behind the centre of the kitchen sink

Why do I need a product for that when I have uranium mines right handy?

I can’t even really work out what I’m supposed to be looking at in that crappy little photo, if it is a photo.

This is satire, right?

It has to be.

No, Fenestra as in “This is our window of opportunity for this product, before they start to realize it’s bullshit…sell, sell, sell!”
